My only argument (if you really want to call it that) is that Obama is the SAME person he was back in 08 only that the unwashed masses didn't know or want to know just what kind of person he really is.
That's all. He cannot be remade because he has been shown by his own actions as the person he really is. Any attempt to "change" him will fail. The only thing he could do to change the way a majority of people feel about him right now is to run as fast as he can to the center right.
That being said, I don't think Obama is capable of doing that. He will only get harsher and more egotistical as the rest of his term plays out. That's all.
Sorry if you thought I was trying to argue with you.
